Schlagwort: the little things

As you've noticed, I've been making more time to write here. Stealing minutes here and there (as Julia Cameron suggests in The Right To Write) really works. Of course, telling myself I'll write just a little bit always leads to spending more time than I'd originally planned for. Which is exactly the point. I've also [...]

I am writing again. Journaling, letters, something that could turn into a novel - and here. All thanks to Julia Cameron's The Right To Write - or thanks to my friend A., who lent me TRTW? Or thanks to the book launch of another friend that made me want to write again? Or maybe thanks [...]

It has been quiet around here, I know. I think our slow internet connection at home is the main reason, but also I went through a rough patch where I didn't feel like I had anything to share here. Things have turned around faster than I could have imagined, and I am feeling inspired and [...]

Totally not motivated to sit at office any longer on a Saturday afternoon, even less motivated after discovery that cute cat pictures still on camera, not computer.

The deal with the house has felt so right and so real the whole time to me that making the down-payment (this past Monday) doesn't even seem like that big of a milestone. The house has felt like ours the whole time. Not even the fact that we're still waiting for an appointment with a [...]

In this last part of my little "Feng Shui 101" it is time for the big reveal. At least it's big for me. However, I am going to begin with a summary of what I find to be the most important points. So, be patient - or scroll to the end of this article. With [...]

Before I go into the different kinds of houses and their respective beneficial and detrimental areas (according to the compass tradition of Feng Shui), here's a brief overview over those lucky and unlucky directions/areas: Lucky directions - and their main benefits Sheng Chi (Breath Of Life) - wealth/prosperity Tien Yi (Heavenly Doctor) - health Nien [...]

While we are spending more and more time dreaming about our new home, and especially the prospect of being closer to nature, we still do enjoy our balcony. Especially now that the plants are growing more and more, and you can see a change every day. … and I wonder how far they will make [...]
